i started a thread a few weeks ago about blowby, determined i had a bad cyl. anyways i pulled it apart, # 6 hole has a big lip up at the top of the cyl wall. so.. that jug needs to be machiened to work right again. how hard is it to get the block out of this thing? oh.. its a 95 3/4 ton auto.

 

Sounds like to me you got alot of work on your hands...

 

so i have the head and the pan off of tis motor in the truck, but i hve to pull the block out to have machine work done.do u have to pull the radiator,innercooler, a/c comprssor, and trns cooler out to get the block out, or will it fit out like normal?

 

When we removed mine we took everything off the front end but left the ac lines connected then it came out rather effortlessly. It took about 4-5 hours the dissassemble the entire front end.

 

Take everything off the front end and just move the condensor and lines out of the way, dont have to disconnect.

 

sure would be nice to have sleeves...

 

It would be nice, but if you were pulling #6 you would have to pull the engine out anyway..
